Note Taking Tools

Evernote-
Costs money-30
There is an app that works with the phone

? What happens if Evernote goes away do we lose all the information- Not a good answer

Zoho
Some is for free some is for pay
Embed video and audio

I downloaded Zotero as a link in Firefox

Advantage of note taking software
Archival
Collaborative

Idea for Notebook Collaboration--One person takes notes then students go back to edit the notes.

What is your definition of Network literacy’s?
I think network literacy is the ability to efficiently transcribe all network inf0rmation

Will’s Definition
The ability to create, navigate and grow personal learning networks in safe, effective and ethical ways.

{This is about learning networks not learning communities.}

Will talks about his definition

Create: What is it that we are creating?

Are you an editor? More than a simple consumer?

What nurtures a network? Effective networks are about diversity, openness and autonomy.---growing a network is about being diverse. You need to have people who disagree and you nee to be comfortable with this

Safety—can we control our online persona?

Efficiently- There are other things in life- Can Students stay on task.

Ethics—
Citizenship on-line
How do we avoid the perception that we are not stealing from other people

One Hour 10 minutes into the Seminar
